Kava Bar Near Sunrise, Florida

Getting Here from Sunrise

From the Sawgrass Mills or Amerant Bank Arena area, take I-595 East or Sunrise Boulevard east into downtown Fort Lauderdale. The drive is about 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. From the residential areas near Oakland Park Boulevard and NW 136th Avenue, head south to I-595 and take it east. PoorHouse Kava is at 110 SW 3rd Ave with street parking nearby.

After the Game, After the Mall

Sunrise is home to Sawgrass Mills — one of the largest outlet malls in the country — and Amerant Bank Arena, where the Florida Panthers play. Both draw large crowds that often look for somewhere to go afterward. PoorHouse Kava offers a late-night option that stays open until 2 AM with no alcohol involved. After a Panthers game or a long afternoon of shopping, the drive east to downtown Fort Lauderdale gives you access to live music, botanical drinks, and a completely different atmosphere.

PoorHouse operates inside the original Poor House dive bar, which has been a downtown Fort Lauderdale landmark for years. The space transitions from a calm botanical lounge in the afternoon to a live-music venue after 10 PM, with bands cycling through jazz, rock, blues, indie, punk, and karaoke nights.

Menu Highlights for First-Timers

If you are visiting from Sunrise for the first time, start with a traditional kava shell — available in 3oz ($3), 7oz ($6), or 16oz ($13) — to experience the real thing. The K-Tea menu lets you customize drinks with juice or milk bases, flavor shots, and functional boosts. PoorHouse consistently offers the lowest kava prices in Broward County.

Gallon delivery is available to Sunrise for home use, watch parties, or any occasion where you want kava without the drive.
